OLIVIA ?MAYER ? ? ? ? 1 ?Olivia Mayer Professor Christopher Martinez Introduction to religions April 10th,2013 Modern Day Sati In today's modern day, society sati is still occurring. After researching, my findings make me think that this wide spread ritual is still occurring on a yearly basis, it is just sacred and kept secret. Aware this is a public ritual, but at the same time, if it is that would make it less likely to happen in public and be kept more a secret. Tradition of sati has been occurring in India since being outlawed in 1829. Women achieve merit bringing their families glory and the widow avoids disdain. Traditionally the women who were prevented or were not able to commit to sati were unable to live anything but a peasant's life.
